One of the less exciting things we have been doing is battling cold after cold and trying to figure out what is causing a mystery rash on Austin. You can kind of see it here on his cheeks (it looked much worse in person, and covered most of his body), when it was particularly bad. I think this might actually be a reaction to the varicella (chicken pox) vaccine that he had received a week earlier. Apparently it is fairly normal and nothing to worry about. Unfortunately, he has also had a strange, changing rash over various parts of his body since before his birthday (early April). So, many trips and phone calls to the doctor later, we now have an appointment to see an allergist. In a month. We've tried the no dairy route, and he is now on Zyrtec. I have no idea. Luckily, it doesn't seem to bother him and it has gotten a lot better. I'm not so worried about the rash itself as what is causing it. I just want to know if it is something we can avoid...(like if he is allergic to something). We'll have to keep you posted once we know more.
